SAFE DISTANCE
FIXING
In order to absorb vibrations produced by genset, it should
be fixed to a surface with sufficient rigidity, isolated against
vibrations towards other structures and with a mass equal to
at least three times the genset mass.
DO NOT locate the genset on terraces or raised levels, if its
characteristics have not been previously verified as suitable.
ATTENTION
A safe distance has to be kept between genset and fuel de-
posits, inflammable goods (cloths, paper, etc.), chemicals,
according to indications provided by the authority in char-
ge. In order to avoid potentially dangerous situations, area
surrounding genset should be isolated so that unauthorized
people will not be able to get close to the unit. Even if MOSA
gensets are manufactured according to electromagnetic
compatibility norms, we suggest NOT to install the genset
near machinery that can be influenced by magnetic fields.
NOTE
When using a genset it is advisable to adopt precau-
tions to avoid that fuel, lubricant and other engine li-
quids may accidentally cause soil pollution.
The most recent generators are designed to retain pos-
sible liquid leakages, hence no specific measures are
needed in this regard.
In case of doubts concerning your genset do not hesita-
te to contact our technical sales office.

ATTENTION
Engine and alternator when in operation produce heat:
• Shelter should NOT obstruct normal cooling of compo-
nents;
• Exhaust gas should be directed in order to avoid the pos-
sibility that alternator and engine fan inhale it;
• Shelter should be made of fireproof material, as embers
may come out of the exhaust pipe;
• Never cover or wrap up genset with plastic sheets or other
material while operating. If genset is off, make sure engi-
ne has cooled before you cover it, or else there may be
risk of damage to the genset or may catch fire.
!
TEMPORARY OUTDOOR INSTALLATION
Indications given for fixed installation have to be followed.
If genset is not positioned correctly, vibrations transmitted to
the baseframe may cause the genset to move, this may occur
while the genset has a load inserted, take on all necessary
precautions to avoid this.

FIXED OUTDOOR INSTALLATION
If a shelter is used to protect the genset (see figure), it should
NOT be attached to it.
Even if a shelter is temporary the below indications should be
followed:
